If you look carefully, you will see that the bottom half is an open book, with an illustration on the left and text on the right. The top half are two different pieces. Using various manipulations, I blended common elements, that give it a bit more unity.
The book is an interesting curiosity, that somehow ended up in my collection from previous generations. It is a Russian 1928 edition of Dominion by J F Rutherford ~ early Jehovah Witness proselytizing.
Beautifully bound with an #EmbossedCover, and colour #BookPlate #Illustrations. Iβve been tempted to use it for altered book art, but for now, just scans for collage work.
I have no idea if this book has any collector's value - it is an odd set of criteria: 1928, #Russian, #ReligiousTract, #JFRutherford #JehovahWitness $$$

Wow. I mean, I know #Wikipedia is under a constant assault by #SIG s such as #religious groups, #statesponsored #propaganda (see #Palestineβ¦)
But trying to check a #fact about the Gospel of John - in what language(s) the earliest known manuscripts were written - discovered the article is now a #ReligiousTract, a lesson in the beliefs of one branch of #Christianity. Capitalizing "Word" when referring the text.
β¦and no #answer to my #question.
